During the past 24 hours, sunspot region 2192 produced an X1.6 flare and four M-class flares – all of which are Earth directed. There are no CMEs associated with this activity. Region 2192 is currently situated at the solar central meridian – a major eruption in this active region may lead to a geo-effective CME (coronal mass ejection) and a proton event.

Additionally, sunspot region 2195 produced an M1.4 flare peaking at 15:57 UT, and this flare was associated only with a narrow CME. Region 2192 will remain the main flare source as it continues to grow and maintains the beta-gamma-delta configuration.

The Earth is currently inside a slow (around 430 km/s) solar wind flow with average (around 5 nT) interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) magnitude. The geomagnetic conditions are quiet and are expected to remain so.

Note: Sunspot region 2192 is large enough to be seen with the naked eye during this solar eclipse.

Yesterday an interval of K = 5 was reported by IZMIRAN and an interval of K = 4 by Dourbes (K index according to NOAA remained at the quiet to unsettled levels with K < 4). This interval of slightly disturbed geomagnetic conditions was produced by a slow solar wind interval with predominantly negative north-south IMF component Bz.

About Earth Changes Media w/ Mitch Battros

Mitch Battros is a scientific journalist who is highly respected in both the scientific and spiritual communities due to his unique ability to bridge the gap between modern science and ancient text. Founded in 1995 – Earth Changes TV was born with Battros as its creator and chief editor for his syndicated television show. In 2003, he switched to a weekly radio show as Earth Changes Media. ECM quickly found its way in becoming a top source for news and discoveries in the scientific fields of astrophysics, space weather, earth science, and ancient text. Seeing the need to venture beyond the Sun-Earth connection, in 2016 Battros advanced his studies which incorporates our galaxy Milky Way - and its seemingly rhythmic cycles directly connected to our Solar System, Sun, and Earth driven by the source of charged particles such as galactic cosmic rays, gamma rays, and solar rays. Now, "Science Of Cycles" is the vehicle which brings the latest cutting-edge discoveries confirming his published Equation.

"The Sun has been a driver of these systems more than we had any right to expect," says Daniel Baker, Principal Investigator, Van Allen Probes Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (REPT). "We're seeing brand new features we hadn't expected." In a press conference on Dec. 4th members of the Van Allen Probes science team discuss […]
